Armoured Angels?:

Why on high do angels sing?
Hearts below to heavens bring
Soldiers of G-d or armoured archangels go
Fighting Dragons or Dracula's guides
Mixing potions like Champagne or Frangelico
While saying women must be ‘clean' to be brides
Images drawn on ceilings and walls
Homes outfitted from great malls
Clashing times and value systems
Maidens hauling water in cisterns
Borne on shoulders from the past
Church flags should be at half-mast

Raphael or Botticelli
Am I really being silly?
Bringing forth such images and icons
Saying evangelists are really just Cons
While in angels I do believe
Here on earth on every eve
Heavens beyond our here and now
Beyond the moon and that cow
In the Logos we have the word or sound
String Theory brings it to the ground
We can creatively manifest
Even when we are at rest

Angels on the Sistine ceiling drawn
Above our earthly ego's brawn
So why are our angels fighting wars?
Our children dying by the scores
Truly now we all ...
... must turn
Ecclesiastes, times a changing
New Age old thought re-arranging
Children Gothic Churches burn
Parents wonder what makes them yearn
The lies and wars the Church has wrought
It really doesn't take much good thought
I say the parents and teachers or other sorts
Should organize and change laws and courts
Ask not if the children learn
They've learned so well the angel's swords
From your actions. Not your words!
